PRESSEMELDING FRA NOVA :
As you know the DHV changed the rules for 1 and 1-2 glider. The new
DHV rules are more stronger as before. The stricter DHV homologation
is only for the 1 and the 1-2 class glider.
For example: if a glider goes after a one-sided collaps more as 45
degrees
in front - the glider get DHV 2 class if the glider goes less in front
as 45
degrees he get 1or 1-2.
In the past it does not matter how much degrees the glider goes in
front. It
was only important that glider turns not so much before the glider
open.
The Syntax is the first 1-2 glider which are tested by DHV with
this new
rules.
We are finished now with our new Baby - the Syntax is ready.
You can order now the Syntax in four sizes: XS, S, M and L
DHV homologation finished:
Syntax XS DHV 1-2 included Speedsystem
Syntax S DHV 1-2 included Speedsystem
Syntax M DHV 1-2 included Speedsystem
Syntax L DHV 1-2 included Speedsystem
The Syntax XXS is in work - finished soon
Main characteristics:
Basic idea: Make a real sucessor of the legendary X-act: easy, safe
and performant. Easy turning with perfect tumping. No hard collapses,
very soft in all maneuvres.
Claim: to be pure: no frippery, reduced to the essence.
Improvements: faster in trim, higher max. speed, even better safety (surging,
collapses, min. speed), off course more performance.
Safety: We never had a wing with a bigger tolerance: You can change
the trim massively, the tensions, suspensions, even the airfoil the
wing is still very safe!
Handling: very forgiving and pure fun. It has an extremely low
minimum speed and a very long max. brake travel. I never flew a wing
that turns so flat and narrow (specially towards the rock walls of the
Rofan). Also top landings are very easy.
Performance: The real wolf in the sheep's clothing! You can fly it
very radical in thermals, outclimbing nearly everything when the
upwind is narrow and tricky or you have to fly very small 8s near the
relief. Gliding is surprisingly good.
Technic: some new materials, some new technics. Because of the high
safety level, we could try out some new ideas (or pic up some old ones).
